The Federal style — sometimes called Adam style after the Scottish brothers who popularized it — shaped American homes from roughly 1780 to 1830, just after independence. Where Georgian trim is robust and Greek Revival is heavy, Federal moulding is delicate and refined: slim reeded pilasters, fine bead-and-reel detailing, oval and elliptical motifs, and crisp, narrow profiles that feel almost neoclassical-jewelry in scale.
Mason’s Mill carries 44 Federal & Adam profiles suited to early Republic townhouses, New England center-hall colonials, and Charleston single houses. They pair beautifully with our Georgian and Greek Revival profiles when layering periods on a single restoration.
This pecky cypress from Louisiana gets it's characteristic look from a condition caused by a fungal attack that causes long, narrow burrows or cavities in the wood. The fungus primarily attacks older cypress trees from the “canopy” or “umbrella” down. Once the tree is cut down, or harvested, the fungal attack stops, leaving the beautiful, unique pecky patterns.

In rustic or knotty grades of lumber, there will be a percentage of degrade during the milling process. Some knots may shake lose and/or fall out during the milling process. Mason’s Mill is not liable for these defects in moldings produced from knotty grades of lumber.
Pecky Cypress will lack consistency in the amount of “peck” throughout the piece as well as from piece to piece. Pecky Cypress is characteristically brittle. Some splitting in millwork and S4S should be expected and accounted for.
No returns will be accepted on any custom-milled Pecky Cypress products including S2S, S3S, S4S and molding millwork.
